Our flying Winger lads. 

Darwin Núnez will wear no.11 at the World Cup for Uruguay.

[Saus76]

50/1 to be top scorer in the world cup. Get on it lads.

uruguay though?

Worth a fiver punt. Ghana and South Korea are in the same group.

[Fromola]

uruguay though?

It's the balance in the attack as much as anything, trying to shoehorn Suarez and Cavani in (both 35) and he's shunted wide.

He's the future of their attack but it might be a tournament too early. He's only scored 3 goals  for them, he'll need to probably double that to win the golden boot.

Should let him take the odd corner! Even better than Aspas.

There are always comparisons with footballers. Darwin reminds me a bit of Philippo Inzaghi at times but he seems to be getting better at the other things. Maybe he has it all.

I don’t even think he knows what kind of player he’s going to be. Could be a great, could be a flop, could be anything in between. Should be a fun ride though. His goal contribution stats are already quite formidable.

[CanuckYNWA]

could be a flop

How...people saying hes been "struggling" even and not hitting his "top form" yet and he is still putting up ludicrous numbers. For him to flop at this stage something massively drastic would have to happen cause even if he "just maintains" these numbers he would put up ridiculous numbers already.

I dont see a world where he flops

Absolutely zero evidence of him being a flop. He's electric and he/we are still learning how he works in our team properly, while he's causing chaos for the opposition and scoring plenty of goals while he's at it.

Ahead of you there, managed to get it at 60/1! Worth a quid that!

Only way he would be a flop was if he had the mental issues that Collymore had, Stan should have been an LFC great, he was that good. From the outside, Darwin looks very happy and settled.

Agree completely about Collymore. He had everything needed to become a legend, alongside Fowler.

Unfortunately he didn’t have the mental strength.

If you never saw Stan play and just read the revisionist media narrative, you'd think he was shite, but watching him, he had it all. Knew he was quality when he was at Forest and I was Upper Centenary for his debut v Sheff Wed and got a great view of the curl of the ball for his first goal for us, great debut goal. Darwin is getting the same shite from people who have an agenda, us who watch him already know he's top class

I remember Collymore saying, to the effect, that Roy Evans had spent a fortune on him yet didn’t seem to know how to get the best out of him.

Collymore got stick for that and that seemed to be the start of the campaign against him.

Funny really, he looks a better player than Haaland but then Haaland is an extremely good 'goal hanger' and I suppose that matters most in the world of football

Haaland has probably the best movement of any number 9 in the world, incredible acceleration and speed, can finish left foot, right foot and head, is powerful when holding off a defender, produces remarkably acrobatic finishes when necessary and doesn't get flustered if he's not a part of the game by touching the ball regularly. If that's what you define as goalhanging, then yeah, he's brilliant at it.

Me too, upper centenary a bit towards kop, near front, chopped it back onto his left and curled it into the Anny Rd goal 1-0. Was a cracking player to watch, had it all. But I loved the way he'd peel wide, either side and deliver cracking crosses with either foot.

Wife's friend dated a brazilian guy so saw them all over the place. Although to be fair he did have a few bongs there as well.

Was also in the Upper Centenary for the Wednesday game. I remember the Wednesday fans were chanting 'what a waste of money' just before he banged that cracking winner in. He had genuine talent but looked lost at times.

I mentioned Collymore a few pages back as we signed him hoping we were getting the new Shearer (British transfer record at the time) and then the same with Andy Carroll. For different reasons neither player had the mentality to succeed here. Collymore also a victim of his time. Mental health provision is a lot better these days than it was then.

With Nunez nothing seems to be missing really and he's got the right manager.

Collymore and Fowlers goals and assists together that season was pretty remarkable.

Collymore was a wasted talent that's for sure. He had everything in his locker to be a world class player, but sadly it quite often stayed in the locker. His mental health issues only came to light many years later, so it makes you wonder how much of an impact this may have had on some of his below par performances.

[jepovic]

With most failed signings you can see what LFC was going for, but Carroll was just a donkey.

I think it played a big part in his below par performances.

They were excellent together. I said the other day, that ball Darwin put in from the left for Mo reminded me of Stan and God in 96. Nunez and Mo can be a better version of those two in that season.

[WhereAngelsPlay]

Collymore was a real talent but I hate the bloke & not because of football or that he twatted his Mrs (I'd hate him for that anyway) but because he promised a close friend of mine help with his mental health,then fucking Ghosted him,all he wanted was contacts and you can imagine what it did to him.


He's a fucking cockroach.

DARWIN DARWIN NUNEZ

[Sharado]

Today's the day a whole new brand of chaos hits the world cup and I for one can't wait.

[AndyMuller]

Hope he bangs in 20 goals in the world cup.

[tubby]

Hope that they go out early, he scores lots of goals regardless, and doesn't pick up an injury.

Fuck that, I hope he comes back a world cup winner and top scorer, and doesn't pick up an injury.

I suppose I could live with that.

[bird_lfc]

Think he’s worth a punt for top goalscorer.

[Skagger]

Think he’s worth a punt for top goalscorer.

Agreed, I rarely bet on the footie but backed him at 33 and that and Uruguay to win at 250, £15 returns £1600, going to double down now the odds will be longer.

He's a proper talent already, love watching him play

[jepovic]

Nah, Uruguay wont go far and they play very defensively
